Ride-hailing app drivers protest in Brussels over rising costs and competition
At least 200 drivers employed by ride-hailing platforms including Uber are demanding lower commissions, higher pay rates, and unified rules for taxis and so-called street cabs in Belgium.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that Brussels will delay retaliation against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs as talks with Washington continue. President Trump disrupted months of negotiation, warning the EU of sweeping 30% tariffs unless a deal is reached by August 1. Von der Leyen confirmed preparations for countermeasures are ongoing, but emphasized the EU still prefers a negotiated solution. With $24 billion in U.S. goods at stake, the next few weeks are critical as the tariff standoff risks escalating into a full-blown trade clash.

A political firestorm has erupted in Brussels as French MEPs accuse European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of secretly negotiating a €35 billion vaccine deal with Pfizer—via SMS. With no tenders or transparency, critics allege "abuse of power" and demand accountability. The scandal, now dubbed “Pfizergate,” comes days before a critical no-confidence vote. Calls for von der Leyen’s resignation grow louder as questions swirl around pricing, procurement, and the hidden texts that could shake the EU to its core.

The new Cab Fare Surge rules under the 2025 Motor Vehicle Aggregator Guidelines allow cab aggregators like Ola, Uber, and Rapido to charge up to 2X the base fare during peak hours — a sharp increase from the previous 1.5X limit. This Cab Fare Surge policy aims to balance demand and supply, but has sparked debates among daily commuters and drivers alike. While aggregators argue that the revised Cab Fare Surge system accounts for dead mileage and peak-time strain, many passengers feel the burden of increased fares during rush hours. The Cab Fare Surge rule also includes penalties for unjustified cancellations by drivers or passengers, capping at ₹100.
